I am keen on a career in consulting but my academic performance during undergrad and graduate school was not worth mentioning on my CV (I did attend top schools though has alums in top tier consulting and IB). I have tried applying to consulting firms but don't get invited for an interview. What other alternatives do I have? I am not too keen on going to B-school as it is a large investment in terms of time and money and not quite sure how much of an edge it would give me when applying to these firms.
PS - Has anyone used LinkedIn in any interesting way to get into consulting/IB (publishing articles, building thought leadership on a topic, etc.?)
